cently had published in pamhpiet
form, his sermon “Immortality
Of the soul,” has had an extra

Cbas. Walton, who recently
advertised a tract of land for
sale, in the Herald, writes under
date of August 24th. “The Ad-
vertisement did the necessary,
and I have today rented the place
to J.«H. Duffer, who lives near
Hutchins,” The Herald always
does the work. Several appli-
cations were filed with the
Herald in answer to this adv.
or mox% shares, as this will mean
not only protection for cotton,
and a means of realizing on it
now in a time of need, but will
establish a lint market for years
to come. The business men of
Lanpacter are subscribing gen
erously to this fund and concert-
ed action of the farmers will
bring of the effort the greatest
results for the community at
large that has been experienced
in any movement here-to-fore
made. *

ed it was time to go home and
even then it took a hurry-up. to
get home before morning. It is
seldom even in this advanced dav
that one finds such an artistic
